Priscilla Presley’s own involvement with Scientology dates back to the late 1970s. She was introduced to the religion by her friend and actor John Travolta after the death of her husband, Elvis Presley.
Lisa Marie, who grew up within the church, later wrote in her posthumous memoir that Scientology initially gave her a sense of belonging.
“My mum would drop me off after school at their building in Hollywood,” she recalled.
“I felt like she was dumping me there so they could handle me, and she didn’t have to.”
Lisa Marie eventually left the religion in 2014. While some have speculated that Priscilla may have stepped away from Scientology after her daughter’s departure, her representatives have maintained that she remained involved.
